ABOUT THE JAIL.
Scenes and Iucidents-How They Heard
the News.

Scenes and Iucidents-How They Heard
the News.
CHICAGO, November 10-When the
news of the Communication of the sentence
of Fielden and Schwab was received at the
Jail, there was an extraordinary scene OF
activity. The news was sent to the rela-
tiyes of all the condemned men, and
in short time they began to arrive
at the Jail. The first OF the women to
come was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab
was brought from his cell to the main
Office. The wife quickly advanced to him,
and throwing her arms about his neck,
burst into tears. Schwab returned the
embrace in a calm manner, and soon the
two were chatting quietly together.
After this Spies anu Fischer were brought
from their cells and taken to the Jail
library. Eugel was brought to the pri-
Qate office of Mr.. FolZ. This was done
for the purpose of allowing the relatives to
take their last iuterviews. The first one
of the women to arrive after Mrs. Schwab
was Miss Engel, the daughter Ofthe con-
demned Anarchist. When the two met in
the private Office, there was no outburst Of
grief, which it is impossible to describe.
Father and daughter clung to each other
and sobbcd convulsively.
Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother of
August. She had been waiting outside for
an hour and half Her sobs could be
heard
THROUGH THE CORRIDORS
of the building. She did not stay long in
the library with her son, aud on her exit
from the Jail Mrs. Fischer was admitted.
She went into the library and her lamen
tations were heard above the tramp of the
deputies, who swarmed the place.
But the crowning scere Of all was the
visit Of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife
of Spies. She was conducted TO the
library by Deputy Sleson. AS she walk
ed through the main office, she betrayed
no emotion. The moment she saw August,
however, completely changed her de-
meanor. There was a look, and then a
gasp, and in a trice, the lovers were in
each Others arms. A bevy of curious re-
porters and officers crowded up to the door
of the library, but it was quickly
shut by the deputy. The interview be-
tween the prisoner and his faithful devotee
lasted nearly half an hour. What actually
transpired will never be known to the
world, but it was sufficient to bring q
glimmer of tears to the eyes of the old dep
uty. In half an hour the lovers had
parted and the excitement of the entrance
of Nina had passed.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Dynamite Concealed N q Candle = How
Nina Heard the News.

The Dynamite Concealed IN q Candle How
Nina Heard the News.
CHICAGO, November 10.-Louis Lingg,
the true arch-Anarchist and 'thuman
tiger" attempted to commit suicide in
his cell, at s:55 o'clock this morning, by
blowing his face to pieces with a candle
loaded with dynamite and a Illuminating
cap.
His face was blown out of all semblance
of human shape. The violent act was
effected with candle loaded with dyna-
mite. He lit the wick and placed the can
die in his mouth. Lingg had acted about
as usual all the morning, and there was no
reason to expect any event so startling.
At the time mentioned report startled
every one in the Jail. Mr.. Osborne, the
death watch, at ocee located the sound in
Lingg's cell. The door was opened and
Lingg was found lying on his back. The
cell was spattered with blood, and the air
was heavy with smoke and the smell of
dynamite. The explosion was heard all
over the Jail, where it echoed through the
corridor and cells with hollow boom"
and for a moment there was almost a
panic. The bleeding yet breathing body
was carried into the jail office and DR..
FeDger summoned. He, with other ply
sicians, at once took steps to stem the fast
flowing life tide and had some hope of saw
ing his life for the hangman.
Parsons was at once taken out Of his cell
and searched, but without result. A can
die, loaded in similar manner to the one
used, was found in Lingg's cell. The tai
low had been poured around dynamite
cartridge. These candles had been passed
into the Jail and might have been used by
all the men so far as known.
A press representative met Miss Van
Zandt at the door and told her what Lingg
had done. She staggered back step,
pressed her hand to her heart and gasped
-"Whstm Upon being assured that it
was indeed true, she exclaimed with great
agitation: my God Has it come to
this?r

The Cable system.

Mr.. J. F. Crank, President of the
Cable Car Company, is now in San
Francisco purchasing material for the
new cable road soon to be commenced.
There will be five lines of cable
operated under the one company.
One line will run from the end of
Downey avenue to the corner of First
and Spring street. One from Boyle
Heights to the corner of Main and
Fourth streets. Another from the
corner of First and Fort streets to
Seventh street and up Seventh to city
limits, while the other will run out
Grand avenue from Seventh street to
jefferson. The roads will cost at the
lowest estimate one and a-half million
of dollars and will take two years to
complete, as the castings must all be
wrought to order and the cement
which is ordered from England will
not arrive for some time. There are
several shiploads of it and there is
none in this country. Besides all this,
the high prices prevailing for every
thing and the scarcity of help makes
it more difficult to construct the line,
but as soon as the material arrives
work will be pushed forward as fast as
circumstances permit.

BAND OF HOPE.
Hon. j. p. st. John Talks to the
Children.

The children of the Band of Hope
filed the First Congregational chnrch,
corner Fort and Second streets, yes
terday afternoon to listen to Ex-Gov-
ernor st. John. Over 300 children
were assembled besides tie grown
folks who occupied the gallery and
ante rooms. Praise service was
begun by the Rev. Mr.. Ansall who
then introduced the orator who began
by telling the children that he came
there expressly to speak to them and
have friendly chat with each other.
The older folks were invited to attend
so that they might hear what they
had to say. In reviewing some facts
he recounted his travel through New
Mexico. cat Secotta the same hymns
were sung as here to-day, but not by
the same class of children. Those
were Indian, Mexican, German, Irish,
negro and white children, yet they all
sang alike this wonderful Gospel
which seems to reach all kinds of peo.
pie on the globe" He requested all
children to lift up their hands if they
thought it would save all those kind
of people. All responding in the af-
firmative, he asked them if they knew
what an icicle was and which they
would prefer, large or small one.
Like all children they preferred the
former. He then told them if they
put mud on the icicle it would make "a
dirty mark on it. He then compared
human character to an icicle, both
being formed drop by drop. As a
piece of mud makes a black mark on
an icicle so profane word as bad
habit made a black spot on the char
acter, and business man in choosing
a trusted employe always looked for
his good habits first. Then he
asked if they knew anything
about saloons, and receiving an affirm
ative reply put such questions as the
following to them ''Do they make
men good?" "Do they clothe men ?"
"Do they make men murderers ?"
and calling upon all to rise who would
work against evil and help root it out,
but refrained from asking the women,
saying, 81 would not insult the women
by asking them to speak against this
when one and all of them are the
backbone that keeps the men on with
the good work. He spoke of the 250
to 800 saloons licensed in this town to
sell liquor, saying that no amount Of
money could make a wrong right, and
some of the addresses on this subject
made by the children OF the Band of
Hope would grace any hall at any
place.
The children looked upon God and
not man for protection, SO if men put
these temptations in their way they
were responsible for the wrongs done
by their children. He related many
instances of men who had gone wrong
through drink. At the conclusion of
the service the congregation sang the
hymn "To the Work" in great ardor,
which concluded the meeting.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-26
Another Railway Boom.

Arrangements have been made by
the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany to build the following lines of
railway in a very short time. The
first line will start from the round
house as Cotton and proceed to San
Bernardino near Starke's hotel, thence
to Redlands, Grafton, Lugonia and
Brookside, which is on the main line.
The next line will be an extension
of the present spur track to Slower
Mountain, on through Aqua Mansa
near the old church, to and through
Riverside and thence to South River
side. Beyond that point the line has
not been determined.
The company will also construct a
line from the east end of the Cotton
bridge over the Santa Ana river in a
southwesterly direction over the mesa
about eight miles to Pigeon Pass, in
which there will be a short tunnel
that will lead directly into the great
San Jacinto Valley. This is short
line that few people knew existed, and
surprises those who supposed that the
line would have to go around by way
of Perris or San Gorgonio. These
three new roads were all planned and
agreed on quietly, and then the com.
pany bought up all the unoccupied
land in Cotton. AS soon as it was
known in that town that three new
railroads were to be built there the
price of town lots advanced 200 per
cent. Such important improvements
will give tremendous impetus to
business in South California. 1t
means the expenditure of $4,000, 900
for labor, materials and buildings by a
company that has ample capital to
spend, and treasures weakened men
Of permanence of present prosperity.
